Burger Cup 2012: The Quarter Pounder Quarter Final

Well that was interesting. Another eight of the city's burgers have been booted out by the public vote, and now only eight remain with a shot of winning the Beijinger's 2012 Burger Cup. So who is left to fight out the Quarter Pounder Quarter Final?

The biggest headline is Union (#6 seed) making Let's Burger (#2) disappear like Jimmy Hoffa. Also newsworthy: the local-only bout ended with Chef Too besting Vineyard by the smallest possible margin. Both are a credit to themselves and their city, but who else was? Download the new bracket or read on to find out and to vote in the next round.

So who did what and to whom?

Blue Frog stole the crown from Burger King. (Perhaps a princess has kissed them?)
Brussels did-what-their-famous-mannequin-does all over Lily's
Flamme torched Grandma's
Home Plate slid in before Frost
Fatburger outweighed the Filling Station
Tim's Texas Bar-B-Q steered past 1F

We also found out that you, our readers, are willing to pay RMB 45 for a burger with no sides. That's very reasonable. Burger bars, take note.
